An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori Chapter 1252
It was the Harmons themselves, Natasha’s own family, who kidnapped her and led to Hector’s death.
Dustin could no longer tolerate their selfish behavior.
“Dustin, we were wrong. We won’t do it again. Please spare us!
“We promise never to go against Natasha ever again!” Kate quickly begged for mercy when she
noticed their dire situation.
“What’s the point of saying all these now?” Dustin replied coldly.
“You’ve repeatedly resorted to dirty tricks and fought for power. While it was already getting out of
hand, at least you hadn’t crossed certain lines.
“But this time, your actions have shown a complete lack of humanity! You’ve lost all conscience and are

“Regardless, we are still Natasha’s relatives. We share the same blood. If something were to happen to
us, she would surely be heartbroken.
“You love her so much; you wouldn’t want to see her in tears, would you?” Kate began playing the
emotional card.
“Relatives? Same blood? How brave of you to utter those words!” Dustin scoffed. Pointing at Hector’s
lifeless body, he yelled, “Open up your goddamn eyes! Just look at who’s lying on that floor!
“You killed Natasha’s father, yet you dare to spout complete bullshit like this? You are nothing but
shameless!”
“I… .” Kate was momentarily speechless. Beside her, Trent and the rest of the group hung their heads
in shame beside her. Although they never intended to kill, they shared the responsibility for Hector’s
death.
“Someone must be held accountable for Mr. Harmon’s death. Whoever is the mastermind should know
what to do.” Dustin’s tone was icy. As he spoke, he threw a knife before the Harmons with a loud clang.
“What?” Looking at the sharp knife, the Harmons exchanged bewildered glances. Dustin was sending a
clear warning. Whoever confessed to their crimes would die.
They only had one life. Who would willingly step forward to be the scapegoat? “What? No one is going
to confess?” Dustin’s gaze turned cold. His voice was chilling, “If no one dares confess to their crimes,
then everyone dies!”
“What?” The expressions of the Harmon family members shifted upon hearing Dustin’s words. He was
going to punish all of them. Either one person took the blame, or the entire family faced death. Under
these circumstances, someone had to bear the responsibility.

toward Kate. Many of them were aware that Kate had started the whole fiasco. However, nobody dared
call her out on it because of her status.
After all, they couldn’t offend the patriarch’s daughter and Tyler’s fiance. However, the situation was
different now. Their lives were at stake. If they didn’t reveal the truth, all of them would suffer.
“W-What are all of you looking at me for? It wasn’t me!” Kate exclaimed anxiously. Her eyes emitted a
threat in response to the strange glances she felt piercing her. “Kate, we all know what you have done.
Just own up to your actions!”
“That’s right! You can’t make us all suffer for your deeds!”
“Kate Harmon, you must face the consequences for your mistakes. Stop trying to evade responsibility
and confess to your crimes. That’s your best chance at a favorable outcome!”
Driven by the imminent threat of death, they were no longer concerned about their familial ties. At that
moment, Kate became the target of criticism among the Harmons.
